TICKETS have gone on sale for interactive gaming, film, comedy and music events at the ICCI 360 festival arena.

Organisers are promising audiences a ‘totally unbelievable experience’ when they enter the 21-metre dome, situated on the Weymouth Pavilion forecourt
throughout the London 2012 Games.

The Innovation for Creative and Cultural Industries (ICCI) 360 arena will open to the public from July 27 to September 9.

It will be a key ‘focal point’ for the 80-plus Maritime Mix events in the borough and can accommodate 750 people standing or 350 seated.

Around 40 events are being hosted, ranging from free workshops to £10 per person ticketed evening shows.

The diverse line-up includes 360 degree films and animations from regional, national and international artists, mini festivals and a fundraiser for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) on
July 31 from 7.30pm with a specially-commissioned film.

OFFICIAL LIVE SITE FOR CHANNEL 4

DURING the Paralympic sailing events the ICCI 360 arena will become the official Live Site for Channel 4, the official broadcaster of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

Celebrations will begin on the evening of August 29 when the dome will host an event to mark the start of the Paralympic Games and to coincide with the official London Organising Committee’s
Opening Ceremony in London.

Free tickets will be available but must be booked in advance.

Centre manager Dave Hotchkiss said: “We’re the C4 Live Site for the Paralympics in Weymouth.

“It will be free and we’ll broadcast the C4 feed at various times throughout the day.”

How will this dome impact on the Pavilions own shows? And how difficult will it be to get in to book when the front car park is blocked by the dome and the back car park covered by the olympic village? Who will go to any evening performance with no parking and no bus service that end of the seafront?
I predict another white elephant and more losses for the Pavilion so it can be knocked down to build more flats.
